WE have just completed the last of the asessments today, we saw an orthoptist.
We have been told over the last 3 weeks that she has:
Speech and language delay (which we knew)
Autistic Traits (which we knew)
Left side weakness (we already have dx of hemiplegia for her)
Hearing problems (we didnt know)
A Wandering eye (we didnt know)
Eating problems-refrerral for an endoscopy (we werent aware that she would need this)
Problems with her motor skills (had an idea)
Sensory problems (we knew)
Its a very draining experience having an asessment at the CDC and we dont have an appointment to discuss it until Jan 07.
DD has been very upset these last couple of weeks she,s been very tearful and generally not happy which is not surprising and i want to wrap her up in cotton wool which isnt the right thing to do but thats how i feel at the moment.
